Search continues for six South Africans missing in Nepal floods
Search and rescue teams are working hard to locate six South African citizens who went missing following severe flooding in Nepal. The group was trekking in a remote region when heavy rains caused sudden, devastating floods and landslides across the country.
Authorities have confirmed the last-known location of the missing individuals, which has helped rescue teams focus their efforts. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) is currently working closely with local officials in Nepal to gather more information and coordinate the search operation.
Nepal has experienced extreme weather conditions recently, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure and many casualties. The South African government has expressed its concern for the families of the missing hikers and is providing consular assistance to those affected by the tragedy.
As the search continues, officials are urging caution for any South Africans currently traveling in the region. The situation remains difficult due to damaged roads and communication lines, but rescue teams are doing everything possible to reach the area where the group was last seen.
Updates regarding the search will be provided as soon as more information becomes available. For now, the focus remains on the safety and recovery of the missing citizens.
